Haiku

Today in class we learned how to create a type of Japanese poem called a Haiku. It was fairly simple as it is only a three lined poem. Although some students shared their poems in school, I'm hoping more can post theirs on the blog. My goal for tonight is to have more than 10 posted poems of the Haiku variety. Just in case you forgot the format, here's a little reminder.

Line 1 = 5 syllables
Line 2 = 7 syllables
Line 3 = 5 syllables.

I look forward to seeing if we can post more than 10 Haikus! Thanks in advance to those who post!

  1. Title: Is anybody out there?

    Camping in the woods
    I wish I had my flashlight
    Did you hear that noise?

  2. Here's another one I just came up with after thinking about my run last weekend. Hope you enjoy it!

    Title: Turkey time

    Running on the trail
    Surprised by a large rafter!
    What a sight I've seen

    By the way, a group of turkeys is called a rafter (I know, I learned something new today as well!) Can't wait to see what you come up with.

  3. The Barking Dog

    The dog is barking
    At the neighbors down the street
    Pulling at the leash

    School Bus

    Running down the street
    Children running joyfully
    To the big school bus

    The deer family
    Quietly wading through the
    Rambleing river

    Wind pushestrough their nice leavs
    Spring breeze is lovely


    Spring
    Birds sing so loudly
    Flowers push through the cold ground
    Spring is like nothing!

  7. Spring

    The deer are prancing
    The hard thick ice is melting
    Because it is Spring

  10. Horses

    Galloping horses
    With a saddle on their back
    Holding the reins tight
